[Moon-net] Moon tracker for SPID ROTOR

[w2drz]

Hi,

Just catching up on E-MaiL, Russ (K2TXB) and I have finished the new
code for V2.0 as of today......
MANY NEW CHANGES AND IMPROVEMENTS.

See WEB PAGE for info, well are back logged on the updates with MANY NEW
things in the new code.
Just a PICC chip change and that is it for the change to the new
controller upgrade to new V.20 system.
